Caught a cold and it's flaring my asthma

I caught a nasty cold and it is beating me up with my asthma.

It keeps sending me into an asthmatic cough every other hour.

I'm using my rescue inhaler but it's only works for about 2 hours then I start wheezing and coughing again. I don't use the inhaler until time for next dose. UNTIL then I monitor my pulse oxygen and concentrate on slow deep breathes.

Any other ideas to battle through this?

Ascorbic acid 1000 mg a day kills colds and if you keep taking them I never ever get colds
. I take 2 - 1000 mg a day and has helped greatly with Candida. It also really helps asthma because it eliminates the mucous that clogs up your lungs like an air filter in a car.

I got sick on the 23rd just in time for Christmas. HORRIBLE callous treatment by the so called "medical professionals". Pray to die in my sleep.
